Slingsby T.7 Kirby Cadet

Slingsby T.7 Kirby Cadet

The Slingsby T.7 Kirby Cadet is a British training glider (sailplane) designed and built by Slingsby that first flew in 1936 and saw service with the Royal Air Force for use by the Air Training Corps as the Cadet TX1 throughout the 1950's and 1960's [RAF Museum, Hendon]

Design and development

The T.7 was designed to meet an Air Ministry requirement for a training glider as part of the air cadet programme, and it entered service as the Cadet TX1 with the Royal Air Force. It was further developed with a change of wing into the T.8 Kirby Tutor (service name Cadet TX2) which in turn was developed into a two-seat version the T.31B Tandem Tutor (service name Cadet TX3).
